Rip Detection
Whether you have an existing belt and rip detection system with broken loops or are looking for a new rip detection solution, Almex and Emsys have you covered.
The EMSYS LSRS (Loop Sensing Receiver with Smartwire) remembers the belt layout with uniquely identified smartwires at intervals along the belt to detect any rips along the belt. The LSRS receivers read Smartwires as well as the more common loops in the market (ie. Conti, Good Year, Becker).
Smartwires are available to put directly into belt as it's manufactured or pre-laminted with gum and cover to be quickly put into an existing belt. A retrofit kit including an almex press, SmartWire channel skiver, control box, and winch is also available.
The EMSYS WSR (Width Sensing Receiver) monitors the width of the belt for it's entire length to detect any shearing or spreading or edge damage changes from it's baseline. The system is able to bring the belt to a stop when the rip is detected. The WSR can work stand-alone or with the LSRS.
